Attorneys face off Superheroes unite through the courts Patrick McCallister STAFF WRITER

pmccallister@YourVoiceWeekly.com

TREASURE COAST — The law firm of Lauri J. Goldstein & Associates has filed two suits against attorney Thomas Schmitt with allegations of taking between 140 to 170 files when he vacated the Goldstein office and opened up a new office in Martin County. The most recent motion filed on an emergency basis, to be heard at press time, is trying to stop Schmitt from representing Goldstein’s clients due to his mental instability and the way in which he acquired the clients. In an affidavit filed from the Goldstein’s petition a former client of Schmitt, James Holding, stated “(Schmitt) acted like he was ‘spaced out’, ‘His eyes appeared as he was or had been doing illegal drugs.” Michael Pike, of Pike & Lustig, is representing Goldstein & Associates. In court filings, the firm claims that Schmitt has a documented history of unstable

State budget cuts and future allocations Staff Reports

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — With $27 million for water projects across Florida among $461

million in appropriations stricken from the state budget by the governor’s veto, officials of St. Lucie and Martin counties are unsure about the future of water projects they say are crucial. “It’s always a disappointment when you have the opportuni-

ty to better your water quality and you don’t get the funding,” County Commissioner Kim Johnson said. Another $5.7 million in funds included in the budget the state Legislature approved for St. Lucie County projects also fell victim

to Gov. Rick Scott’s veto pen, including $2.5 million each for Torrey Pines and VGTI research institutes. “The governor had a dollar fig-

“IT’S NOT ALL ABOUT THE AIDS, IT’S ABOUT THE SERVICE TOO” Dear Neighbors, My favorite hearing aid specialist in Stuart recently sold his business and retired. The following week the battery for my hearing aid got stuck in the little battery door. I didn’t mess with it, just took it in to my regular hearing center. Instead of trying to help me or offer to send it in, this new person just wanted to sell me a new

hearing aid. That’s great but I really wasn’t ready to give up a hearing aid that was working fine, except for the battery being stuck. Long story short, I kept my hearing aid and looked on line for my brand of hearing aid. Then I looked for distributors in my area. My old guy was “Preferred” by the company and so was “Mutter’s Hearing Center” in

St. Lucie West. I didn’t have an appointment, just walked in. I met Tammy and told her the new guy wouldn’t send in my hearing aid and asked if they would. Tammy took one look at it and said “We can fix that!”What?!??!!? Music to my ears! Sure enough Joe got it fixed and even adjusted my other aid. Oh, did I mention at

“NO CHARGE”. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I left there feeling so good, so happy to have found Mutter’s Hearing Center. It was well worth the drive. It’s not all about the aids, it’s about the service too. I highly recommend my new favorite Hearing Aid Specialist, Joe Mutter. Sincerely

Cherie Mault

“I’M HERE TO SERVE YOU. NOT SELL YOU” Since entering the Hearing Healthcare field I have learned quite a bit. Not from the books or schools I’ve attended but from my clients! With very few exceptions the folks that have been to other hearing aid providers tell me that they felt “sold” and that the concern seemed to be about how quickly they could sign the order forms to buy hearing aids. They felt SOLD!! At Mutter’s Hearing Center my client is the focus, not the sale! Yes, I do sell hearing aids but rest assured that if you consider Mutter’s Hearing Center for your hearing healthcare needs, you and the product best Joe Mutter, H.A.S. suited for your hearing will be the focus, not the sale!! I am here to serve you, help you understand your hearing loss and guide you thru the complicated process of regaining your hearing.

Fundraiser for United Way an eyewitness to history ST. LUCIE WEST – It went down in history as “The Saturday Night Massacre.” On Oct. 30, 1973, President Richard Nixon ordered Attorney General Elliott Richardson to fire Archibald Cox, the special prosecutor investigating Watergate. Richardson and his deputy, William Ruckelshaus refused and resigned in protest. Solicitor Robert Bork fired Cox. Horace Webb, spokesman for the Justice Department, was in the meetings that led to those events. Today, Webb and his wife Bunny live in PGA Village. Webb just finished a successful year chairing the United Way of St. Lucie County’s annual fundraising campaign. A board member for the organization, he spoke recently about community involvement and his place as an

I haven’t the slightest idea what was in their minds. If they wanted political intelligence on the Democratic Party, they could have paid $15 and gotten on the mailing list.” The events that led to the Richardson resignation were a difficult time. “It was very emotional,” Webb said. “It actually happened on Friday night. Nixon had ordered Elliott Richardson to fire Cox. He would not. At his confirmation hearings, he swore he would not interfere with the work of the Special Prosecutor. If he fired Cox, he would have perjured himself. The next person in line, William Ruckelshaus, said no. At that time, the line of succession at the Justice Department

Domino joins race for 18th Congressional District Patrick McCallister STAFF WRITER

pmccallister@YourVoiceWeekly.com

TREAUSRE COAST — Carl Domino beat a crowded field of Republican hopefuls to run against Democrat Patrick Murphy for the 18th Congressional District in 2014. It’s two years later. Murphy is vacating the seat to run for the Senate, and Domino is back to take another shot at the seat. “I’ve been real lucky in life and lived the American dream,” he said. Domino said he hopes to take what he’s learned from 20 years in the Navy, eight in the Florida Legislature and decades in investments managing to Congress. “I think the three big issues, similar to (2014), are job creation, national security and national debt,” Domino said. Domino said those national issues are really also the most important local issues. He said

cleaning the local waterways — which is often cited as the biggest issue facing the Congressional District — is pretty well decided and Congress’ role at this point is mostly to keep funding for the Indian River Lagoon flowing, he said, which has been coming up on the campaign trail, will likely be long since out of Congress’ influence by the time anyone elected in 2016 takes office in 2017. But, job creation, national security and the national debt, Domino said, will be issues affecting children not yet born on the Treasure Coast. “There’s never been a recovery this late (after a recession),” Domino said. “A lot of it has to do with the iron-fisted regulatory attitude of this administration. The respect for America around the world is disappearing. There are enemies so much worse than two years ago.” Six Republicans — including Domino — have announced their aim to make congressman Pat-

Carl Domino rick Murphy’s seat red in 2016, and about 10 are known to, or strongly suspected of, consider-

ing it. The Republican field for the 18th Congressional District could run out of elbow and leg room. Just like 2014. Domino is one of six Republicans who’ve announced runs for the district. Four Democrats have announced their aims to keep the seat blue. The congressional district covers St. Lucie and Martin counties, along with a sliver of Palm Beach County’s northern side. The district has a Partisan Voting Index, PVI, of R+3. Florida’s rating is R+2. The R, of course, standing for Republican. Florida’s 22nd District, just south of the 18th District, has a D+3 rating. The D, again of course, meaning Democrat. Any PVI score between R+5 and D+5 is counted as competitive. The “Rothenberg & Gonzales Political Report” puts the seat into its pure toss up category for 2016. It’s one of only 10 congressional districts to get that rating na-

GNC Franchisee of the Year reopening Tradition store Lisa Barry

FOR YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS

TRADITION – GNC’s “Franchisee of the Year” award winner Albert Paetzig is moving into the Tradition location and gearing up for a grand reopening intended to bring new life to the storefront. Nine years ago when Paetzig was in search of a career that would allow him to spend more time with his young son, he went all in on a GNC franchise in Stuart, a move that Paetzig now says changed his life. I put my house up for collateral,” Paetzig said. “The economy was tanking, the store was hollow, but I saw opportunity.” Since nursing the ailing vitamin store back to life at the Stuart location, Paetzig has gone from owning one to five stores in a two-year period. He currently operates stores in Palm City, St. Lucie West, Port St. Lucie, Stuart and now Tradition. When asked about the secret to his success, Paetzig simply said “If you help people money will follow.” Executives at GNC seem to agree with Paetzig’s approach. On July 1, 2015, he was named “Franchisee of the Year” for the 2014 calendar year, the top hon-

tionwide. On the Republican side, Martin County School Board member Rebecca Negron, St. Lucie County Commissioner Tod Mowery, along with Mast, Paul Spain and Rick Kozell have all announced candidacies. The Florida Division of Elections lists only Domino and Negron on the Republican side, so far. On the Democratic side, Stuart’s John “Juan” Xuna, Palm Beach Garden’s Johnathan Chan and two Palm Beach County commissioners are running. The commissioners are Melissa McKinlay and Pricilla Taylor. Xuna is the only Democratic candidate the state lists so far. “There’s also good Democrats in this time,” Domino said. Most candidates will likely aim to qualify by petition. Vicki Davis, Martin County’s Supervisor

of Elections, said candidates for the 18th Congressional District who want to qualify by petition need to gather 4,854 signatures by next year. She said signers are free in primaries and general elections, 2016, to vote for candidates other than those they signed qualifying petitions for. It only means that a petition signer is helping a candidate qualify for a run without having to pay the filing fee, 6 percent of the annual salary of the office sought. The current salary of a rankand-file member of Congress is $174,000. It’s been that since 2009. Those who don’t collect the needed signatures would have to pay nearly $10,500 to qualify. Domino is married to Sharon, and they have teenaged twins, Reagan and Mason. He is 71. He is working on putting up a website and social-media pages for this campaign.

Larry Lee (D-Fort Pierce) requiring the Office of Early Learning to establish a five-year Literacy Jump-Start pilot project in St. Lucie County to provide emergent literacy instruction to low-income, at-risk children. The five-year program would begin with 25 indigent 2- and 3-year-old children who live in subsidized housing in Fort Pierce’s northwest neighborhoods. Literacy jump-start will be operated by a nonprofit organization under the oversight of Early Learning Coalition and based in a housing project.

ure in mind he wanted to provide for his tax cut package,” said St. Lucie County Commissioner Tod Mowery. “St. Lucie County was not singled out by any stretch of the imagination.” Despite the vetoes, appropriations totaling $17.3 million for seven projects in St. Lucie County survived: • $8.3 million for the Early Learning Coalition. • $6 million for the Voluntary Education Program. • $2 million for the Veterans Nursing Home. • $500,000 toward construction of the Rosser Boulevard library. • $250,000 for the Ocean Research & Conservation Association. • $110,000 for the Literacy program. • $100,000 for the Fort Pierce Shore Protection Project. It may be only $110,000 for the Literacy program, but it is the first of what are expected to be five annual installments funding the program proponents say can help reduce crime by opening doors to career opportunities for youths. “Crime is not solved always on the back end,” said Johnson, who is in the third year of his

on May 12, 1970, as a machine-gunner in Cambodia. When his convoy was ambushed, the 19-year-old repelled the enemy under heavy fire, holding his post while his wounded comrades were evacuated. Commissioner Tod Mowery said he was also pleased with the appropriation for the veterans nursing home. “I was glad to see that they continued this funding at $2 million for one of the last portions of new construction at Tradition,” Mowery said. In September, Scott and his Cabinet unanimously approved a county-owned, 28.5-acre site at the western end of Tradition Parkway for the state’s seventh veterans nursing home. The $2 million appropriated in the new state budget will be added to $17 million from the state’s Veterans Administration. Another $30 million would come from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The region the facility would serve -- all of St. Lucie, Martin, Indian River, Okeechobee and Highlands counties, plus portions of five neighboring counties -- has an estimated 211,647 veterans, nearly half of which are age 65 and older, according to the VA.

No money for bioresearch Johnson and Mowery each expressed disappointment that the governor vetoed $2.5 million appropriations for both the in Torrey Pines and Vaccine & Gene Therapy institutes and $250,000 for expansion of the Navy SEAL Museum in Fort Pierce, which draws 60,000 visitors a year. “Previously, the governor has assisted in the support of them (the bioresearch institutes) being here,” Johnson said. “They’ve not gotten the funding they’ve needed on a consistent basis but I am hoping they will get funding next year.” St. Lucie County projects among the $27 million in water projects the governor vetoed totaled about $1.8 million, about half of that for the Culvert Replacement Project. “He (Scott) was across the board with his cuts,” Mowery said, adding that the biggest “disgruntled aspect” was the failure of the Medicaid expansion proposal. Mowery said he also would have liked to see the $10 million for railroad quiet zones included in the budget, but he noted that “the Senate President (Andy Gardiner, an Orlando Republican) couldn’t get $10 million he wanted for a University of Florida project.”

or the company gives to a single business owner. GNC defines the award as the franchise operator that “demonstrated exemplary operations, consistency and exceptional customer service, plus encouraged teamwork, a positive attitude and exceptional leadership,” according to an official GNC flyer. Though dollars and cents are crucial to any business, Paetzig says customer service and building a passionate team is what keeps the numbers moving in the right direction. “We’re family operated, we have good, good customer service, and that’s something that is going obsolete in these big box stores,” Paetzig said. “GNC does a great job putting out amazing products, but we have to go back to basics.” To keep customers returning for an “experience” Paetzig says his store provides them with a caring and knowledgeable staff. Giant superstores and online competitors can offer competitive prices, Paetzig stated, but they don’t come with in store consultants like Paetzig’s GNCs do. “Everybody I hire has a passion for living a healthy life. When you walk into a store, you’re talking to people who work out,

who take care of their bodies,” Paetzig said. “Whether a customer is someone who lifts weights or has arthritis someone will be able to talk to you and help you find the right products.” Paetzig’s senior store manager Jordan Miller said Paetzig treats his employees like he expects his employees to treat customers, with respect. “We’re not just a number to him, he really cares,” Miller said. “I’ve gone from one to two to four to now five stores with him now, and he definitely has the formula down for success.” Miller is one of 16 total employees that will be working under Paetzig once the Tradition store is in full swing. But Miller said he does not believe Paetzig will stop at just five stores. “I look forward to where we’re going in the future, we’re nowhere near done.” The Tradition GNC is currently open for business, but Paetzig plans to advertise details for a grand reopening event in the near future. As part of the celebration, Paetzig said the entire store will be 25 to 30 percent off from Friday, July 17, through the end of August. The store is located at 10640 SW Village Parkway in the Landing at Tradition shops. Staff can be reached at (772) 345-3622.

HOMEGOODS from page 7 veterans and people with disabilities. Serra said that HomeGoods provides competitive pay and benefits that may include, depending on the position, medical/dental/ life insurance and discounts at T.J.Maxx, Marshalls and HomeGoods. HomeGoods has scheduled its ribbon cutting for the new store at 7:45 a.m. Aug. 23 and the store will be open that day from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. The store will be located at the The Shoppes of St. Lucie West. Robyn Arvedon, assistant vice president for marketing for HomeGoods, said that the store will have about 20,000 square feet, the typical size of other HomeGoods stores. Averdon said the opening of the Port St. Lucie store is part of continuing expansion.

“HomeGoods is continuing to expand across the country and open stores in new markets,” she said. “The closest HomeGoods to your new store is in Stuart, about 13 miles away, so we are confident that Port St. Lucie shoppers will embrace the new store,” she added. HomeGoods currently has 45 stores in Florida, besides nine in the West Palm Beach area. Averdon says what sets HomeGoods apart from other retailers that focus on items for the home are prices and inventory. HomeGoods offers an exciting ever-changing selection of high-quality home fashions at prices generally 20 percent to 60 percent below department and specialty store prices, on comparable merchandise, every day,” Averdon said. She said the stores offer brandname and designer merchandise at good prices.

ST. LUCIE WEST — St. Lucie County commissioners continue to put road blocks in front of the All Aboard Florida high-speed passenger train that could come barreling down the Treasure Coast at the risk and expense of communities like St. Lucie County starting in 2017. At the St. Lucie County Commissioners meeting on July 7, commissioners voted unanimously to accept a Critical Assessment, spelling out in more than 500 pages the “serious deficiencies” of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) set forth by All Aboard Florida owners, Florida East Coast Industries (FECI), in September of last year. In addition, Public Works director Donald West presented holes found in All Aboard Florida’s 90-percent plan handed over to the County in April.

WHERE TRUST IS A FAMILY TRADITION

LOOSE DIAMOND SALE! Trade or Sell Your Diamonds!

A letter submitted on July 7 to the Federal Rail Administration by Tallahassee-based environmental lawyer Segundo J. Fernandez on behalf of the county summarizes the deficiencies. Fernandez also calls the Administration to “reject” the DEIS and put a final draft on hold until all “deficiencies have been cured.” All Aboard Florida will connect Orlando to Miami with stops in West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale. Official plans show 32 trains per day could come speeding down the tracks, in some places reaching up to 110 miles per hour. Eleven crossings in St. Lucie County will be affected by the project, according to West. Though concerned government entities cannot vote down the private project, many are teaming up to ensure communities are physically and financially protected from the dangers a high speed rail could bring.

WEBB from page 3 stopped with the Solicitor General, Bob Bork. Bork had to do it to avoid a constitutional crisis. The backstory is that no one at the time knew the emotional and physical condition of the president. We didn’t know if he were irrational or ill. “If the president decided to fire Bob Bork, he could appoint anyone as attorney general for 30 days. That person would be bound to do whatever the president wanted to do. There was no end to what you can conjure up with your own appointees.” In the end, Robert Bork fired Cox, a move that Webb said cost Bork a Supreme Court seat. From the break-in at the Watergate to the Nixon resignation two years later, Webb was on the inside. “My wife thought I was having an affair with a reporter for the Washington Star,” he said with a laugh. “Whenever Woodward and Bernstein broke a story for The Washington Post, the phone rang at 1 or 2 a.m. and a sweet voice asked for me. She was fact-checking.” It was a difficult time. “We didn’t know what would happen,” he said, “It was virgin territory for politics. As it turned out, it was a time in our history that was exciting, nerve-wrack-

ing and emotional. It proved that even with that level or attack on our form of government, it survived.” Webb said that he and Bunny used Watergate as an object lesson for their own children. “The operative phrase was, ‘It’s the cover-up.’ I think we have repeated to our sons and grandchildren to get them to understand to do the right thing in the first place. It’s not the crime, it’s the cover-up. We told our children to tell the truth. Otherwise, you have to tell a lie and then another lie. The cover-up begins a process from which you can’t recover.” Webb played another role in an historic event of the 1970s, the standoff between the Oglala Sioux Tribe and the U.S. government at Wounded Knee, South Dakota, in 1973. “It was scary,” Webb said. “I returned in one piece from Vietnam and I was a civilian, standing at Wounded Knee, South Dakota, getting shot at.” Webb was working for Attorney General Richard Kleindienst and got called into Kleindienst’s office. “He said there was a situation at a place called Wounded Knee and I should go and handle the media,” he added. “He said that a plane left for Denver at 1 p.m. I wound up in a motel at

I was going to wind up on an Indian reservation that was rainy, muddy and cold. All I had were the clothes on my back.” My deputy came to the house and Bunny packed me a bag. I had no preparation or training. I was giving briefings about the Marshal’s Service and the FBI to the national media. “We were more interested in saving lives and property than settling tribal differences,” Webb said. The government settled it non-peacefully. It was sad. We were very happy to get away.” Webb spent much of his professional life in the energy sector, as senior vice president of external relations for Potomac Electric, Iowa Power, Consolidated Edison and the Entergy Corporation in New Orleans. At Con Ed in New York and Entergy, he became familiar with the United Way. “In my previous lives with Con Ed and Entergy, I headed the charitable foundations and be-

came intimately involved in our own company activities with the United Way. I was involved with the United Way with two different companies.” In fact, during a proposed merger between Entergy and FPL, Webb flew back and forth between New Orleans and Florida and met Karen Knapp, CEO of the United Way of St. Lucie County. The merger fell through and Webb forgot about it until he was asked to join the organization’s board and saw the name Karen Knapp again. The Webbs had long planned to move to Florida. “We decided to buy property in 1998,” he said. “My wife had an aunt and uncle in this area. They were part of a group that lived in New York. Core Communities sold lots, sight unseen, for $3,000. They moved to Port St. Lucie. Both my wife and I were in the energy business and they liked to have conferences in Florida.

to the Board. All Aboard Florida’s 90-percent plan neglects to include crucial safety features, West said. While the Federal Rail Administration recommends sealed corridor treatments, sensing devices that detect stalled vehicles, and monitoring for non-functional gates and signals, All Aboard Florida plans suggest few of the safety recommendations will be shouldered by the company. Further, the cost of maintaining the County’s 11 rail crossings could swell from $2.5 million to upwards of $6.4 million with the increased track plans, West said. Initially, brand new crossings will not need heavy maintenance, but “down the road” in as little as “five years,” it could be very costly to the county. “This is the most disturbing document I have ever read in my entire life,” said Commissioner Chris Dzadovsky. “I’m afraid they’re going to run a safety operation that will kill people.” In addition to All Aboard Florida’s apparent failure to meet safety recommendations at the crossings, Dzadovsky said he is concerned about open tracks between the crossings. Pedestrians who are accustomed to seeing slower freight trains may think they have time to cross, but mis-

judging a train moving 110 miles per hour could be deadly, Dzadovsky argued. Fernandez addressed the Board on the matter of the DEIS. “I am an environmental lawyer” Fernandez said, “This is the worst DEIS I have ever seen on a project of this magnitude.” Fernandez argued that there is sufficient, fact-based evidence that shows what All Aboard Florida is representing in its DEIS is “wrong.” The initiative that the County has taken to review and challenge the DEIS is what All Aboard Florida should have done and what the Federal Rail Administration should have confirmed. But instead, the County in conjunction with neighboring local governments have found a “total failure” in at least four areas and could have found more given the time and resources, according to Fernandez. “The EIS draft was issued in Sept. 2014 after a two-year period of study, with about 40 different experts,” Fernandez said. “But it’s pretty amazing that it is completely flawed and deficient.” St. Lucie County was still awaiting All Aboard Florida’s final EIS, a document that has been pushed back several times, as of 12 p.m. on Tuesday, July 21, according to County Attorney McIntyre.

Lung cancer is the number one cancer killer. Symptoms usually appear in the latest stages, when it is the deadliest. Low-dose CT lung cancer screening programs for current and former smokers can detect lung cancer at the earliest stages before symptoms appear, improving the cure rate to as high as 90 percent.

was no better. We decided to pick one or two organizations and see what we could contribute. I used the old Marine Corps ethic, ‘Lead, follow or get out of the way.’ We want to contribute as much as we can because we care. If, in our later years, we can make a positive difference by allowing our experiences to be of value to others, we’d be satisfied and pleased.” Webb is active in his homeowners association at Sabal Creek and in the United Way, while Mrs. Webb serves on the community campaign committee for Tradition Medical Center and serves on the Martin Health System’s Foundation Board. She is also on the boards of Kids Connected by Design and the Backus Gallery and Museum. Both Webbs recognize they have been very fortunate. “Not everyone has had the chances we’ve had,” Webb said. “My wife was the daughter of a diplomat and that broadened her background enormously. We don’t seek the limelight, and whatever happens, happens. If it can be inspiring or helpful to others, especially young people, it’s not right to keep it quiet.” For more information about the United Way of St. Lucie County, visit the website www. unitedwayslc.org. or call (772) 464-7805.

The filings read: “Schmitt’s wife had him Baker Acted the week of June 22, 2015, whereby the Martin County Sheriff’s Department placed him in a Sheriff’s vehicle and Schmitt was thereafter admitted to Port St. Lucie Hospital.” Baker Act is a shorthand for the Florida Mental Health Act of 1971 which permits law-enforcement officers to transport subjects they feel could be a threat to themselves or others to designated mental-health facilities for evalua-

tion and possible reference to civil court for involuntary treatment. In a press release, Schmitt said, “While it’s true that my estranged wife, who has suffered herself from severe psychological problems most of her life and has been in treatment for many years, did attempt to have me committed involuntarily.” In the press release, Schmitt notes that while he could have been involuntarily held for evaluation up to 72 hours, he was released within 24. Additionally, the suit alleges that Schmitt took numerous clients with him with unethical, and possibly illegal, methods. The suit also alleges that Schmidt covertly

arranged to move attorneys, paralegals and cases to a new firm, Kogan, DiSalvo & Schmitt. “The value of cases is in the millions of dollars,” Pike said in a telephone interview. In 2013 Goldstein accepted a voluntary 91-day suspension after a Florida Bar Association investigation started in 201l. The investigation was into Goldstein taking the case for a Port St. Lucie woman who’d fallen at a Long John Silvers in Kentucky. The firm wasn’t licensed to practice in Kentucky, and also missed filing deadlines. In the recent suits against Schmitt and others, the Goldstein firm claims that Schmitt was responsible for the case that led

to the voluntary suspension, but Goldstein accepted responsibility because she was his supervising attorney. The hearing July 21 is an emergency motion to protect clients, as of press time court proceedings are in session. A telephone receptionist at Kogan, DiSalvo & Schmitt said Schmitt is no longer with the firm. In a short telephone interview, Schmitt said he’d worked with attorney Lauri Goldstein for five years and lost confidence in her. Goldstein said, “I am saddened by the lies that have been said about me and the betrayal of a colleague but I am staying strong for my family and my clients.”

Port St Lucie, FL- The most common method your doctor will recommend to treat your neuropathy is with prescription drugs that may temporarily reduce your symptoms. These drugs have generic names such as Gabapentin, Lyrica, or Cymbalta and are primarily antidepressant or anti-seizure drugs. These drugs may cause you to feel uncomfortable and have a variety of harmful side effects.

As you can see in Figure 2 , as the blood vessels that surround the nerves become diseased they shrivel up which causes the nerves to not get the nutrients to continue to survive. When these nerves begin to “die” they cause you to have balance problems, pain, numbness, tingling, burning and many additional symptoms. l blood these very smal Figure2: When seased they begin di e vessels becom the nerves begin to d to shrivel up an . te ra ne ge de

The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to fully recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation. As long as you have not sustained at least 85% nerve damage then your condition can been treated

In order to effectively treat your neuropathy three factors must be determined. 1. What is the underlying cause? 2. How Much Nerve Damage Has Been Sustained. NOTE: Once you have sustained 85% nerve loss, there is nothing that we can do for you.

3. How much treatment will your condition require?

The treatment that is provided at our clinic has three main goals: 1. Increase blood flow

The main problem is that your doctor has told you to just live with the problem or try the drugs which you don’t like taking because they make you feel uncomfortable. There is now a facility right here on the Treasure Coast that offers you hope without taking those endless drugs with serious side effects. (see the special neruopathy severity examination at the end of this article)

Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to the nerves often causing weakness, pain, numbness, tingling, and the most debilitating balance problems. This damage is commonly caused by a lack of blood flow to the nerves in the hands and feet which causes the nerves to begin to degenerate due to lack of nutrient flow.

Dr. John Silva at The Neuropathy Relief Center will do a neuropathy severity examination to determine the extent of the nerve damage for only $70. This neuropathy severity examination will consist of a detailed sensory evaluation, extensive peripheral vascular testing and a detailed analysis of the findings of your neuropathy.

Walk a Mile. Make 'em smile FOR YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS

TREASURE COAST – Look! Up in the sky! Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s the 2015 Walk A Mile In Her Shoes co-chairs! For the sixth year in a row, SafeSpace will host Walk A Mile In Her Shoes to bring greater awareness about the issue of domestic violence. This year SafeSpace is calling on local “superheroes” to stand up against domestic violence and support efforts to save and change lives

by joining in this powerful event which will take place on October 10, 2015 at 9:00 a.m. at Marina Square in downtown Fort Pierce. Hundreds of heroic men and other SafeSpace supporters will once again gather at the annual onemile walk, donning red stilettos in a symbolic representation of the proverbial meaning behind the event’s name. “The SafeSpace annual Walk A Mile In Her Shoes event is an opportunity for people of all ages

and walks of life to come together in a fun way,” said Jill Borowicz, CEO of SafeSpace. “Although the spectacle of a bunch of men hobbling along in red stilettos can be very amusing, the issue of domestic violence is deadly serious. The event carries a much deeper message, bringing greater awareness about the life-saving work of our organization. One in three women will be a victim of

SAFESPACE from page 22 domestic violence, so this truly is an issue that affects everyone.” Walk A Mile In Her Shoes is held each year in October in recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Last year’s events attracted more than 400 participants and raised over $55,000 to support programs and services at SafeSpace. For the past five years, Martin, St. Lucie, and Indian River counties each hosted their own walk, however, this year the entire Treasure Coast will unite in downtown Fort Pierce to form the largest regional march against domestic violence the area has ever seen. The walk will raise funds to benefit SafeSpace, the only certified domestic violence center on the Treasure Coast. “Leading up to the event date, our notable event co-chairs, which we affectionately refer to as our ‘SafeSpace Superheroes,’ will be seen around town sporting their purple capes and red heels to promote the event,” Borowicz added. This year’s Walk A Mile In Her Shoes Treasure Coast co-chairs include: Lewana Dupree, Jeff Endriss, Eric Flowers, Carissa Grone, Pete Morello, James A. Taylor, and Melissa Zolla. “This event is a fantastic way for the community to come together to take a stand against an issue that is widespread but very difficult to talk about,” said Walk A Mile In Her Shoes co-chair Melissa Zolla. “I’ve been involved with the event for several years now and I’ve watched so many men – from cops and firemen to attorneys and men recovering from knee surgeries all walk in this event because of their commitment to the cause of ending domestic violence. It’s not easy to walk a mile in those heels, but like all of us who volunteer with Safespace, our goal is to save and change lives.” What started with a handful of brave men has grown to hundreds of community leaders, businessmen, youth groups, and fathers and sons having the cour-

First up is “Swinging on a Star", on the Stark Stage, from Oct. 27Nov. 15. The show features the lyrics of Johnny Burke, one of the most influential lyricists whose name you may not know.

It highlights music from the “Road” movies and songs like “Pennies from heaven,” “Moonlight Becomes You,” and “Going My Way.” For those who enjoyed “I Love a Piano”, “Swinging on a Star" is sure to please. The first show of the 2016 is a modern classic, “A Chorus Line.” The show won nine Tony Awards including Best Musical and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It is one of the longest-running musicals in Broadway history and features a Marvin Hamlisch score with songs like “What I Did for Love”

SEASON from page 27 star sister Masha arrives with her boy-toy, Spike. If some of the names sound familiar, the show was inspired by characters and themes from Anton Chekhov. The family is dysfunctional and the comedy absurd as the four interact. Another Broadway classic is on tap March 8-27 on the Stark Stage as the Riverside presents “Hello Dolly!” The megahit won 10 Tony Awards, including Best Musical. The music and lyrics by Jerry Herman feature show-stoppers like the title song, “Before the Parade Passes By,” and “It Only Takes a Moment.” Next up is a thought-provoking work by Mark St. Germain, “Freud’s last Session.” The play runs from March 22-April 3 on the Waxlax Stage and tells of a meeting in Sigmund Freud’s home between Freud and writer C.S. Lewis. Lewis, who had satirized Freud in a recent book, expects to hear about that and is soon surprised by the agenda Freud has set. The witty dialogue touches on love, religion, politics and life itself. The final show of the season is “Sister Act,” which will be presented April 12-May 1 on the Stark Stage. This high-energy show was nominated for five tony Awards and features music by Oscar and Tony winner Alan Menken. It tells

YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS • ST. LUCIE WEST/TRADITION • JULY 24, 2015• 29

the story of disco diva Deloris Van Cartier, who witnesses a murder and is placed in protective custody in a convent. Disguised as a nun, Deloris energizes the choir of nuns as they try to win a talent competition. In a statement, Allen Cornell, the Riverside’s producing artistic director, said that they hoped to build on this past season’s success. “We were thrilled with the great success achieved this past season. ‘Crazy for You’, ‘West Side Story’ and ‘Side by Side by Sondheim’ achieved many sold-out performances. ‘West Side Story’ also earned record status as the first show in Riverside’s history to sell more than $1 million in ticket sales. “Without the critical acclaim and support of our audiences, none of us could boast that here in Vero Beach, there is a local theater that has grown to be America’s largest professional theater in a small town. Seven dynamic productions will fill our stages over the course of the coming season, seven productions that we feel will continue to amaze and delight everyone who shares the Riverside experience with us.” The Riverside Theatre is located at 3250 Riverside Park Drive, Vero Beach. Season and individual tickets are available. For more information, visit the website www. riversidetheatre.com or call (772) 231-6990.

I want to take this opportunity to personally thank all of the patrons who attended our wine tasting event last Friday evening. It was a tremendous success for all parties involved. Over $1600.00 was raised to help defray Tiffany’s mounting medical bills! It is truly amazing how a community can come together for a great cause and unite as one. I believe that Jeff Linn was smiling as he looked down at what was taking place!

I would also like to thank the following participants for helping make this such a memorable evening:
